Cockman
By Kenfoo

Cockman is a comedy adventure about a chicken from another dimension who got stranded on Earth, and had to adopt a human form. Together with an outrageous cast of characters unwillingly swept alongside him, they bring a hilarious lowbrow charm into this indie gem that won the Singapore Literature Prize for Best Comics/Graphic Novel in 2024. 
    The judges commented that Cockman “stood out for its total lack of seriousness and compromise and its over-the-top audacity and absurdity. Kenfoo unleashes an ethereal chicken spirit, who, on his arrival in Singapore, transforms into a politically incorrect and apparently irredeemable anti-superhero. His new identity as Cockman and his red-and-white costume with tail feathers derive from his poultry origins, but also allow for plenty of broad jokes about male genitalia. Joining him is a supporting cast of equally bizarre misfits, who have to unite against a seemingly invincible enemy.” 
     “Kenfoo’s satire combines his kinetic timing and fluid, frenetic cartooning with the excesses of shonen action manga, Hong Kong martial arts comics, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, all enhanced with a distinctly local Singaporean flavour. It is not for everyone and some may cringe, but many will be swept up by the macho banter, escalating humour, and sheer exuberance, as well as moments of surprising heart.”

REVIEWS:  
“Cockman rekindles such guilty pleasures which I might be a little ashamed to admit that I enjoy.” 
– SG Cartoon Hub 

“It succeeds at that, delivering a mix of laughs, chuckles, and the occasional raised eyebrow.” 
– Just Saying Asia
